Tegucigalpa, August 03, 2022.- El Salvador
defeated a combative team from Panama 3-0
(27-25, 25-17, 25-21), closing with a record of
3-3 in the V Afecavol Women's U23 Championship ,
while Panama had no victories.
Salvadoran captain Daniela López led her team
with 16 points and almost every player on the
squad saw action. For Panama, Mariluz González

10.
El Salvador led in attacks 36-22 and in blocks
6-3, but were equal in service with 7 points per
side. Panama committed fewer errors with 28 to
31.
Daniela López, captain of El Salvador: “For us
it was a very good and competitive tournament,
most of the teams were from the under 21
category and we knew about them. We hope in the
next tournaments to try harder, to work hard to
be able to climb in the ranking”.
“El Salvador was one of the teams in the
tournament in which all the players saw action
and all of them excelled, in the end that was
important to see the evolution of all of them,”
López said.
Noé Fabían, coach of El Salvador: “Panama is a
tough team that gave us a lot of work in the
first set, but we managed to get the result. At
the tournament level, we finished 3-3, the same
as Guatemala, but because of some sets that we
lost, we cannot opt for the bronze medal. In
general it was a good tournament, a young team,
which came from less to more, is the future of
our senior team, because many of them will be in
that category”. |
